Welcome to 3B!!!

Third grade is an awesome year to learn new things!!!

Curriculum

Reading

Daily 3, Guided Reading Groups, poetry, read aloud, author and novel studies will all be a part of reading in 3B. I am excited to see the students excel in reading and grow their love for reading at a comfortable reading level for each student. ﻿

Writing & Language Arts

We will be writing for different purposes. Narrative writing informational writing and opinion writing as well as grammar, word work and vocabulary building will be a big part of a daily 3 choice. We will be using a new spelling program in 3rd grade. It uses more prefix and suffix knowledge with our words.

Math

We will learn many strategies in math this year. In our curriculum we will learn rounding, review addition and subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, measurement, time, perimeter, area, and shapes. There will be lots of math fact practice. We will practice math fact fluency at school, but to be really successful, practice at home is necessary.

Science Social Studies

Science standards will have our students experimenting with more hands on curriculum. Units of study will include: plants, animals, ecosystems, water, weather, health, motion and the scientific method. I am very excited to develop the love of science in each and every child through fun, hands-on activities.

Social studies covers units on Continents; oceans and globes, communities, celebrations, environments, making choices based on needs and wants, rights and responsibilities, and local government. Some interesting activities to enlighten our learning and understanding are planned.
